INTRODUCTION

Lands of Hope Redemption

LoHR (Lands of Hope Redemption) is an online browser-based Role Playing Game. The third game in the Lands of Hope franchise, it is unique in the fact that it can function as a standalone product that can be played without prior knowledge of the previous installments - unlike many other RPG franchises. LoHR takes place several thousand years before the events of Lands of Hope and Lands of Hope Phoenix Edition, in a world on the brink of a large turmoil.

Gameplay

LoHR is an open-world, 2D online RPG; it consists of turn-based PvE combat and the usage of "skills", which can be trained and improved for extra benefits in-game. Set in the land of Myzan, you start out shipwrecked on a small, uncharted island, and progress through the game to find out your identity and unlock new areas to explore. The gameplay is fluidic and allows you to pick your own path of progressing through the game. As you explore new areas, you find new materials to use, people to trade with, and enemies to fight, all on your quest to find your identity and eventually return home. Controls are predefined, with the main movement controls being W, A, S, D, and the arrow keys. Movement may also be carried out with the mouse, by point-and-click. Trading, friend, messaging. and storage systems are all functional in this game - giving you a much more immersive gameplay experience.

EARLY DAYS / HISTORY

We attempted to fund LoHR through Kickstarter with a $7,000 project requirement. Unfortunately it did not make it! - However driven on by the support of admirers and past game users the game will be completed. We could still use financial help (you can still donate directly via our website above - and receive cool supporter benefits) but that will not deter us from completing the game.

LoHR has had 3 public alpha test events over the last 3 months, and survived a 3 Month BETA test starting July 3rd and running till the games release on October 3rd.
